About this audiobook

Charlaine Harris' Anthony Award-winning Sookie Stackhouse mysteries have become a fixture on the New York Times best-seller list and have inspired the acclaimed HBO series True Blood. In this ninth adventure, Sookie has just tied on her cocktail waitress apron for a night's work when a special report comes on the television. The time has come. The wereanimals have revealed themselves. When the weres and shifters finally come out, the residents of Bon Temps, Louisiana, must deal with the violent aftermath. But a far greater danger threatens. A race of unhuman beings-older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires or werewolves-is preparing for war. And Sookie will find herself an all-too human pawn in their battle...

Ratings and reviews

Sookie is a hypocritical self righteous b!tch. She judges humans who don't like the Supernaturals, but in the next breath she starts talking about a vampire she didn't like. Not to mention she herself had killed vampires and a werewolf. I'm so sick of liberals.

What a powerful story! I will admit I cried several times during this story. This story really hits you in the heart and drags you along. The world building expands in an explosive way. The characters we are introduced to are very intriguing and some cases terrifying. The plot had so much in it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The hits to my heart were just huge. Absolutely amazing story.

5 out of 5 stars. I really liked this book ..... it was more along the lines of letting the readers know about the details instead of the action itself ... but it brought all of the multiple stories that this series has into play and I really liked it! Sookie isn't completely her brave self in this one .... actually she's mostly out of it .... and because of that I can't wait to find out with will happen next. Review By: From Me to You ...
